If you’ve never had a popover, you must not have lived in the New England area very long! This airy roll is a tradition for New England, and it’s absolutely beautiful.

lf479/TripAdvisor A popover is a big, fluffy roll that’s made of an egg batter (think Yorkshire pudding). They’re baked in either a muffin pan or a special popover pan to give it its interesting shape.

The roll always ‘pops’ out of the pan, giving it a beautiful shape. At Judie’s Restaurant you can get a traditional signature popover, or a sweet or savory one.
